Gulfstream Aerospace announced the official opening of its expanded Customer Support service centre at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Savannah Service Center East has added more than 200 new jobs and significantly expands Gulfstream’s maintenance, repair and overhaul facility capabilities in the region.

“We continue to expand and enhance our service capabilities in support of the continued growth of Gulfstream’s nextgeneration fleet including the recently certified G700,” said Derek Zimmerman, President, Gulfstream Customer Support. “The Savannah Service Centre East expansion is part of our long-term strategic plan to create the industry’s most modern and sustainable service network, while significantly enhancing access and convenience for our customers.”

Gulfstream has invested more than $150 million in the 3,67,000-squarefoot/34,000-square-meter facility located on the east side of the airport. The new building complements the main Savannah Service Centre by adding more hangar space, offices and back shops, all optimised for efficiency. This additional space allows Gulfstream to accommodate up to 26 more aircraft at any given time.
